Tools and Hardware Reviews of Streamlight 68202 4-AA Battery 7-LED Flashlight, Yellow

Customer Review: Streamlight 7 LED 4AA Flashlight Review
Summary: 4 Stars

I'm an enthusiast of flashlights and coolers. There are several things that I look for when considering a flashlight. 1) Only flashlights that use AA or AAA batteries are considered. Those two batteries are the cheapest and most readily available batteries. Plus, in an emergency, I do not want to be scrambling for different types of batteries (C, D, 9V, CR123, or any other type of specialized battery). 2) The design has to be shock resistant and waterproof. 3) The longest battery life in proportion to the output. I would like an efficient flashlight. 4) Best combination of durability in ratio to size and weight. This is a review of the Streamlight 7 LED 4AA Flashlight that I actually received as a gift around 2004. Since that time, there have been great advances in LED technology, such as the more efficient and higher output CREE LED. However, this was one of my favorite lights along with the Inova X1 flashlight until I was introduced to CREE LED technology in the Fenix LD20. If you want the details, please read on. If you want the short of it, skip to the conclusion.

Brightness: The Streamlight has one brightness setting that I do not know but guess to be approximately 20 lumens from 7 Nichia LEDs. It is noticeably brighter than the Inova X1, which is understood as it operates on 4 AA batteries as opposed to the X1's single AA set up. The light is a flood-type of light, which would be useful for perhaps reading in the dark and looking around in the immediate area. This light will not be useful in lighting up areas brightly or at a distance.

Color of the light: Many Nichia type LEDs has cool "bluish" color temperatures, which is the case in this Streamlight model.

Beam: The beam was brighter in the middle with a taper to the outer edge of overlapping illumination from the 7 LEDs. This is noticeable from within a foot but blends at further distances. There appear to be only minor inconsistencies in the light overall, but otherwise provides very consistent illumination. There is no beam adjustment.

Throw: The throw of the light is poor. Do not expect to get adequate illumination more than fifteen yards. This is typical to Nichia LED technology.

Efficiency: The Streamlight 7 LED 4AA Flashlight is fairly efficient with approximately that lasted 20 hours with adequate power on 4 AA batteries.

Build: The Streamlight 7 LED 4AA Flashlight is encased in hardened, durable, and fluorescent yellow plastic shell. The industry standards for flashlights include aircraft grade aluminum construction, anodized protection, o-rings for water resistance, and is supposed to be crush proof. I actually appreciate this flashlight for its plastic case, which is a nice change up. It is not as durable as anodized aluminum, but it is not easy to break by any means. Plus it is sealed nicely from water, claims shock resistence, and is non-conductive, and made for hazardous use. The light is able to stand as a candle, and has a sunken in reverse-click button on the tail end. Now that the light has some years of use, I do notice that the insides do not appear solidly in place, but does not affect the output even with strenuous shaking and falls.

Conclusion: Overall, the Streamlight 7 LED 4AA Flashlight is fairly well built, lower-power, flood-style flashlight that is adequate for reading or illuminating a small room. I have nothing bad to report about the light but admit that I would have rated this flashlight much higher just five years ago. Today, more efficient and powerful CREE LED technology make flashlights more practical with multiple output settings, powerful illumination with far-reaching throw, and all of this using one or two AA batteries. Thus, the rating for the Streamlight 7 LED 4AA Flashlight in terms in value is much lower. I rate the Streamlight 7 LED 4AA Flashlight flashlight a 3.5 out of 5.0.

Description of Streamlight 68202 4-AA Battery 7-LED Flashlight, Yellow

You'll be blown away by the light that comes from this little unit--it's amazing. It provides a bright swath of light so much bigger than what we expected. Seven super-bright, 100,000-hour light-emitting diodes LEDs mean you'll never have to replace a bulb. We love its ergonomic shape and how it feels in hand. Even with its included batteries loaded, it weighs just six ounces. A helmet clamp is available to affix it to your headgear. We think this is the perfect light for camping, for police and fire professionals, electricians, plumbers (because it's waterproof!), and homeowners for when the power fails.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
